A young man murders his best friend because he is gay. As he is preparing to bury the body, he goes on a spiritual journey and repressed feelings are discovered. This experimental narrative is based on the 2004 hate crime in rural Alabama. A young gay man named Scotty Joe Weaver was brutally murdered because of his sexuality by his roommate and friend Robert Porter. The film is a fractured, experimental investigation into the crime and the root of violence against gay men.
